「A House in Translation」Every Room Speaks Its Own Language 20.9.- 21.10.2025
The 2025 RE-CREATE Residency Art Season, themed “Ten Rooms and One Living Hall: A House in Translation,” explores the intersections of international residency, local culture, and the everyday presence of art. Within over ten “rooms” constructed through art, more than 10 main-unit artists and over 120 domestic and international parallel-unit creators engage with the urban context through their respective cultural languages, embedding their works into Chengdu‘s everyday landscape.The “hall” serves as a shared ground where narratives and dialogues generated throughout the residency converge, forming a fluid artistic living room that reimagines the experience of an art exhibition through the scale and intimacy of domestic space.
